North by Northeast

Here in Maine today we're having the biggest snowfall of the winter -- so far! As you're holed up inside waiting for your Plow Guy to show up you can pass the time by pouring another cup of coffee and tuning in to this morning's archived "North by Northeast"!

Quick reminder that old North by Northeast programs are being re-aired very early Saturday mornings, and are then available in the station archive for five weeks afterwards. Today's encore show begins with a great set from Howie MacDonald and friends!

If you're looking to warm up with some good Northeast trad music this morning, remember that old "North by Northeast" programs are being re-aired on WMPG very early Saturday mornings and are archived right after broadcast:

Good news! When we retired from producing new installments of "North by Northeast" numerous people asked if old shows would be archived anywhere. We're pleased to say that beginning tomorrow (1/20/2023) WMPG will re-air old shows (truncated by half an hour) on Saturday mornings from 5:00-6:30 a.m.! But you won't need to get up with the chickens in order to hear it, as shows will be available in the archive after broadcast:

EDIT: Thanks to all who have responded. Your comments are very much appreciated! For those who have asked about an archive of past shows--at present there's nothing that's publicly available, but folks at the station may start running some old shows in the early morning hours, in which case they should be available in an archive.

Friends! When we began our leave of absence last fall it was with the full intention of bringing North by Northeast back to the airwaves in December. However, after a great deal of thought, and discussion between ourselves, we've decided to make our leave from the show permanent. We've enjoyed doing it, and very much appreciate the platform that WMPG provided us to share music we love, but after almost four years it's time for us to wrap things up. We have no immediate plans for the future, but intend eventually to explore other ways we might continue some of the work we've been doing.

We look back on the last four years fondly, and thank all of our wonderful listeners for the support you have given us. We've made a lot of new friends through doing NxNE, among artists as well as listeners. We like to think that we presented a quality program, and have always been gratified when someone tells us that we've turned them on to some good new music.

With all good wishes to all for a healthy, happy Holiday season.

Even though your loyal hosts are still on hiatus from the airwaves, we're bringing some great LIVE Cape Breton music to folks in the Portland area! Fiddler Troy MacGillivray and pianist Neil Pearlman will be doing a house concert for us in West Kennebunk on Sunday, Nov. 6, at 3:00 in the afternoon. See below! (Address and directions given when making reservations.)

Hello loyal NxNE listeners! Even though we're still on hiatus, the WMPG fall Begathon is underway this week! It would be lovely if some of our listeners would consider making a donation to help keep NxNE--and all the other fine programs!--on the air. Our listeners really did us proud during the Spring drive, for which we thank you! Here's the info for making a pledge:

Fall Fundraiser (Begathon) - Oct 18-24 Fall Fundraiser (Begathon) – Oct 18-24 Posted October 12, 2022 by Annella Linton WMPG’s Fall fundraiser takes place from Tuesday, Oct 18 through Monday 24th.

At this writing, shows from Sept. 7, 14, & 21 are still there!

Thank you so much for all the wonderful birthday greetings! You guys are great! Love, Sidekick Sally

Psssttt! North by Northeast listeners! Don't tell anyone (hah!), but today is Sidekick Sally's birthday! I'm sure she'd be tickled to receive a few greetings from folks out there in radio-land! (Just don't tell her I told you, okay?)

Just a reminder to listeners that we're taking a break for a couple of months--we'll be back in December! Thanks for listening, and for your continued support! --Paul and Sally
